WATCH: Sofia Vergara On Bringing Latino Family to the Emmy Awards

Last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, the hilarious Sofia Vergara spoke about the many family members who flew from Colombia this past weekend to accompany her to this year's Emmys. The 39-year-old Colombian actress was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in ABC hit comedy Modern Family, but lost to co-star Julie Bowen.

Vergara said many of her family members don't understand why she didn’t win. “They really think it’s a beauty pageant,” she told host David Letterman, amid laughter from the audience. “You know how big beauty pageants are in Latin America!”
